Sharon Playhouse to hold local auditions for upcoming summer season

As winter lingers, summer is already taking shape at the Sharon Playhouse, with local auditions this weekend for the upcoming theatrical season under the watchful eyes of casting director Judy Bowman and artistic director Carl Andress.

“Every time you do a local search, new people crop up,” said casting director Judy Bowman. “People who have moved here, people who hear about [the Playhouse]from friends, people who started as actors and then raised families and want to come back into the business.”

The hopefuls will have five minutes and are asked to prepare a piece of musical theater (classical or contemporary). If all goes well, they could be asked back the following week for a dance audition.

Every second counts. Bowman’s process is simple and every second counts. “I really need to know how they audition, what they’re like as people when they come into the room and interact with the theater,” she said.

If it doesn’t work out this time around, Bowman encourages positivity.

“Sharon Playhouse isn’t year-round, but I am. I have plenty of other projects, and they should come in and put their best foot forward.”
